They are friendly, entertaining, mysterious, <br />Addressing different themes, issues, <br />Telling us diverse life stories <br />Much more exciting than news. <br /> <br />We travel through their pages <br />Across countries of different ages, <br />Whose traditions, history, and culture <br />Are therein for our soul to nurture. <br /> <br />We look at them with respect, <br />Filling our heart with delight <br />Enjoying how the characters interact <br />Within the plot the author thinks is right. <br /> <br />(February 2010)<br /><br />Maria C.
